Well I have hunted with the 30-06 for one week now and I have to say its been joy. I have taken two nice whitetail bucks and have enthused those around me with the gun. I have fired a total of 80 rounds through the gun without a problem. The guns regulation is spot on and while the scope is a bit large for the gun I could not have asked for more from a bargain priced double. I've learned to live with the trigger pulls and stock design. I would advise to anyone who purchases; let these guns be what they are. The chambering's are suitable for anything I think you would encounter here in the states. The 30-06 have proved easier to regulate than the 45-70 but even with that they are both worth what I've paid. Still hunting for another week so I'll get back to the woods. Have a great day.
